Help is Around the Corner

Addison and Derek's trailer catches fire, and Meredith offers them a place to stay for a while.

Several hours later, and it's date night for most of Meredith's household.

Cristina is out with Burke.

Izzie is out with Alex.

George is out with Callie.

And Derek is at the hospital, chatting with Mark.

"So, your lusty intern. She's sexy," says Mark.

"Don't talk to me about Meredith," Derek deadpans.

"So Addison-" says Mark.

"Don't talk to me about Addison," says Derek.

"Well then what are we going to talk about?" says Mark.

"We're not talking about anything. You slept with my wife. Go home, Mark!" says Derek.

"If I go home, it's going to be to your home, because Meredith offered for me to stay with you all," says Mark.

"What!?" says Derek.

"It's the truth," says Mark. "I can see why you like her."

"Can't you get a hotel?" says Derek.

"Come on man, show me around," says Mark.

"Fine. One night. And you can take the couch," says Derek.

"Where do you sleep?" says Mark.

"In my hammock. Outside. I need it because Meredith snores, and I think Addison is snoring now because Meredith does," says Derek bitterly.

"I'm not sure that's how it works-" says Mark.

"You'll believe it when you hear it. They're like two chainsaws, I don't know how they can stand each other," says Mark.

"What do you mean stand each other?" says Mark.

"They sleep in the same bed," says Derek.

"And you're okay with that!?" says Mark.

"Well, I couldn't sleep over with either of them," says Derek.

"Are you at all scared that your wife might fall for your ex-girlfriend?" asks Mark gently.

"Not really," Derek shrugs.

"So they sleep in the same bed, they spend all their time together, they laugh at each other's jokes, and you're just... Fine with that" says Mark.

"Well, we used to do all that," Derek shrugs.

"Right..." says Mark.

"Look, if we have to live together... Again... Could you stop asking me how I feel about Meredith and Addison?" asks Derek.

"Fine," says Mark.

"Thanks Mark," says Derek.

"You're not going to tell me how happy you are that I'm here?" says Mark.

"I'm not there yet," says Derek.

"Take your time," says Mark. "You'll get there..."

Meanwhile, Meredith and Addison start their not-date-night at the new dog park.

"Come on, Doc," says Addison. "Let's go!"

"Rr!" says Doc.

"Yes, field trip," says Meredith.
